elden- rim width

[Joe Percival]

Elden, Discounting windshield and seat preferances, what mod or mods would you recommend to make to an A13 first and why? I use the bike to get where I am going on the pavement and then to take dirt and gravel roads for fun and sceanery. I am not interested in going fast in the dirt, or anywhere else for that matter... I am more interested in comfort, reliability, stability and making it back in one piece. Joe

Elden- Scenario- Larger dualsports/adventure tourerers .....and limited size 21" tires........... As adventure touring popularity has increased, and the bike have gotten heavier...........the 21" front tires have become smaller in size........ Will wider front rims help us out? or must we successfully lobby the tire manufacturers in order to get tires that will give us the float we had 20 yrs ago????? Toby
